2017/18 Ross Barkley

[Bourney]

Pretty sure Sigurdsson has played that role for Swansea

He did Mirallas also played a similar role in Greece and scored goals for fun

If Unsworth stays on past the international break, then Barkley will walk straight into the team. If there's a new manager, and Ross is still intent on leaving, then I'm not sure we'll see him play again.

Ross should have been like Delle Ali - a few years ago they were on a par with each other...then what happened?
Tottenham and Everton were almost sort of on the same level - not financially but sort of kind of in the league places.
Look what happened!

Ross and Alli are completely different players.

WHAT HAVE WE GOT.

...the other consideration for Barkley is the curse of the hamstrings. Those things finished me off and they still pop to this day. I said similar at the outset of McCarthy’s problems, suggesting it might be wise to cash in. Players tend to protect their movement, even subconsciously.

I have doubts we will see much of Barkley again in an Everton shirt. Even when fit, he will be susceptible to a set back and I don’t think he’ll be pushing himself with a move to Spurs beckoning.

He already protects his movement after his leg break - v rare to see Ross commit to a 50/50 [I don't mean that critically, as he's not on the park to go round smashing into tackles, but it is noticeable]. But the injury is a bad situation whichever way you look at it. If it's legit it means he's missed 4 months plus with a hamstring problem - sounds severe for a muscular injury. On the other hand, if he's just sat on his ringpiece because he CBA with Koeman then that shows where his head is at. Or isn't, as far as we're concerned.

I think barkley should be retrained as a false no9
No10 role is overrated and misunderstood
He should be an attacker
2nd striker in a 4-4-2 even

Ross and Alli are completely different players.

Yeah I know
I mean they were both big bright hopes for England
And competing for the same spot in the Team

If the national team had any decent manager, both would get played

I should have said currently, we need a spark, maybe 1 of the long termers coming back will give us that, Ross seems the most likely to return, but if we can get Coleman, Yala and Ross back, things will improve 10 fold.

is one of them going to play up front morgs?

 

[AsiaAsia82]

Ross just seen in Walton hospital, burst his ribs laughing at our team tonight....
